ARSENAL, CARDIFF, COQUELIN, QPR

Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers are set to battle it out for the signature of Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin, according to FLW sources.


Coquelin is a target for Cardiff and QPR

Coquelin, 23, spent last season on-loan at Bundesliga outfit SC Freiburg, where he made 16 appearances for the German club.

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing a move for a defensive midfielder after Gary Medel left the club for Inter Milan this summer.

Since being at Arsenal from 2008, Coquelin has only managed to accumulate 21 appearances for the Gunners.

Qpr cant do anything now until January. Only be able to go out to a football league club.

Although I can't remember seeing much of him, I've always seen him highly rated and I think although we do have a massive squad, we lack good depth for holding midfielders.

Correct, so just leaves us.

How about another central defender just for good measure?

OGS hasn't worked out his best team from the riches he has to choose from as it is; another one will just add to the confusion.

Agreed. Especially since Dikgacoi never seems to reach a good fitness level. Why on earth is it taking him so long to get fit?

Absolutely puzzling!

He looks like a lump of lard to be honest, bloated face and all.
